Wherever you are, welcome to another live stream of Intensive Care at Home.

Today’s live stream is about a question that we have from a prospective client. And the prospective client asks, “My 18-month old girl is ventilated with a tracheostomy and she’s been in the pediatric ICU pretty much since birth. Can she leave ICU or the pediatric ICU with Intensive Care at Home?”

That’s what we want to dive right in today, and I want to answer this question as part of a case study where we worked with toddlers before at home with ventilation and tracheostomy. So that I can illustrate this to you in a case study. So that you know what’s possible and how we can help you if you have an 18-month old girl or boy in the pediatric ICU, how we can help you get them home with Intensive Care at Home.

Before I go into today’s presentation and case study, let me quickly do some housekeeping. If you have any questions regarding today’s topic please type them into the chat pad. You can also call in, live into the show at the end of the presentation. I’ll give you the numbers that you can call in at the end of the presentation and I will answer all of your questions.

Now, you may want to know before we get into today’s presentation, what makes me qualified to talk about this topic? I’m a critical care nurse with over 20 years of ICU and pediatric ICU nursing experience in three different countries. I am the founder and director of Intensive Care at Home where we provide a genuine alternative for long-term intensive care patients, including adults and children. And we help families taking their loved ones’ home from intensive care. And we also help intensive care units emptying their very highly sought after ICU beds. And that creates a win-win. We also therefore cut the cost of an ICU bed by around 50%. Again, we are all about creating win-win situations.

When I worked in intensive care, I have worked as a nurse unit manager in intensive care for over five years. We are also consulting and advocating for families in intensive care all over the world as part of our Intensive Care Hotline consulting and advocacy service, it ties right in with our Intensive Care at Home service. One service supports the other, where we help families all around the world.

I’ve been doing these YouTube live streams quite regularly. I usually do them once a week. Usually do them on a Sunday morning, 10:30 AM Sydney, Melbourne time in Australia, which is 8:30 PM Eastern Standard Time on the East Coast in America. Eastern Standard Time Boston, New York, Philadelphia time, which is 5:30 PM on a Saturday afternoon, Pacific Time, LA, San Francisco.

So I want to welcome you once again to the live stream and let’s dive into today’s topic. Where a prospect asks, “My 18-month old girl is ventilated with a tracheostomy in the pediatric ICU, can she leave ICU with Intensive Care at Home?”

This is quite a common situation that we encounter and we have taken a number of 18-month old boys and girls home. After a lengthy stay initially in the neonatal ICU, then they move on to the pediatric ICUs as they get a little bit older, but then it’s time for them to go home. And I argue we could take home those kids much earlier, much quicker, and there’s no need for them to stay in the pediatric ICU for 18 months.
